Yes, and has nothing to do with the current meaning of "cyber". The cyber prefix was taken from Cybernetic, but that doesn't mean they mean the same thing.
I know "Cloud service" is such an awful term, but if you frequently access the data from outside the network, why not consider having the data online somewhere?
Besides that, a NAS should do just fine. Either build on (FreeNas) yourself or buy one of the numerous premade systems. The VPN could be established on network level and not the NAS itself.
Someone once told me, and I don't know if it is true, that Japanese laws don't say what you can't do, they say what you can do. If there isn't a law specifically allowing something, then you can't legally do whatever it is.
Would make sense if the amout of stuff you CAN'T do, is higher than the amount of stuff you CAN do. Shortest path and all that.
I'm very anal when it comes to idle watts. My OCD makes me freak out by just sitting in a room with a switch in it's on position, without anything in it. I get up and turn it off. Yes, I am strange.
Anyway, back to idle watts. I turn things off when I'm not using them. Like in, turn off the outlet.
I did a rough calculation of my media outlet idle watts, after measuring idle watt usage. Router, switch, stereo, console controller charger, TV, Roomba, consolles (3). All in all, I calculated it to roughly $200 a year in idle watts from that area alone.
So to answer your question, I don't know if it's common to do what you, and I, do, but I do it and recommend it to people around me. It's not a lot of money, but it's the principle. Or environmental if you're that kind of nut. It's really not that much of a hassle to set up your things, so you can easily kill the power to stuff you don't use. "Always on units" on one power bar, and the rest on a secondary you can turn off when not in use.
I've often left my PS3 on overnight to charge the controllers, and then forgot to turn it off for several more days afterward.
Please enable automatic sleep mode. Set it to a few hours, something.
Let your console power off automatically if not used for a extended period of time, instead of doing exactly what you just described. Enormous waste of electricity.
Also, it's just USB. Use any phone charger (most phones has USB outlets these days).

"Cyber" doesn't mean what you think it does.
Cybernetic is something completely different.

This is nothing new.
What may be new, is the fact that these asteroids may be from further away than first anticipated.
But it most certainly makes a good game, or movie, better.
Both LoL and HoN was born with "reconnect" feature, nothing innovative about it.
Actually DotA is older than that.
DotA is based on "Aeon of Strife" for Starcraft.
I believe it mentioned in your link.
Oh and never call LoL for the "spiritual successor" for DotA.
That would be Heroes of Newerth taking that title.
I have absolutely no idea of what is going on in that video...
The dogs that jumps through the windows, nearly gave 3 people, including me, a heart attack.
Or, I don't know, you could change the skin if you don't like the default?
DRM != AntiCheat
You can disable that feature, you know.
Third email: That person is now you.
